Overview
The Signamax Category 5e EC-Series Unscreened Keystone Jacks have been designed to meet the need for today’s high-bandwidth applications. The 90° termination position eases tension from the connection at the jack and allows an installer to direct the cable straight back from the panel or faceplate and provides enhanced plug-to-jack connection integrity.
The contact design protects against damage caused by insertion of 4 or 6 position plugs and is rated for a minimum of 750 plug insertions. Special design features allow these jacks to be terminated with a standard 110 single-position tool or with the Signamax four-pair tool providing for the highest level of system reliability.
